St. Patrick,s Conference

The ST. Patrick's Conference of the Socie-
ty OF st. Vincent de Paul gave their annual
coffee party at City Hall last evening. From
an early hour the members and their friends
began to stream up the broad stairways, and
by nine o'clock the galleries and the seats
around the hall were filed with spectators.
The grand march was indeed grand march,
for the floor was covered with the couples
who took up every inch of space. 1t was a
sight good to look upon, for it gave promise
that the poor would derive great benefit from
the gathering. There were twelve dances to
the fine music Of Chambers band, and they
were thoroughly enjoyed by the young peo-
pie. In Reception Hall the ladies of the Ca
thedral furnished a delicious bill of fare and
they were well patronixed. The floor was
admirably managed by Messrs. Thomas e.

ExIt Oscar.

Our readers will remember Oscar Ballou
the man who was found in Cape Elizabeth
and who claimed to have been drugged and
his money stolen. 1t will also be remem-
bered that gentleman in Readfeld thought
that Oscar was the same man who played
quite little game of the same kind in that
town.
Oscar has gone. He left his comfortable
quarters in Cape Elizabeth several days ago
to go to Connecticut Kind and sympathiz-
ing people furnished him with some means,
and watch, because he lamented that he
had no time-piece. Those best able to Judge
considered him crank; that he never was
drugged, and he had not taken any poison.
They considered him victim to acute ma
mia. They have no doubt that he was in
sane. But he could talk as intelligently as
any one. When he was urged to stop until
his brother arrived, he said he had commit
ted no crime and that nobody had any right
to detain him.
A letter was received by Mr.. Howard +.
Hall yesterday. from a Mrs Everett, at
Lynn, Mass, saying that she knew an Oscar
Ballou, who was about Sc years old, and re-
questing MIR. Hall to show the letter to Bal
lou, and if he was the man she thought he
was she would take care of him if he was
forwarded to Lynn. A letter was received

or three weeks hauling cabbages to market.
The demand has been brisk and prices well
sustained at $15 ton. 1t is estimated that
there are 400 tons of cabbages in the town
not yet sold. During one of the late 'cold
snaps" all the cabbages on Richmond Island
were badly frozen.
Marriages of the various types have been
numerous in this locality Those of the tin
type, wooden type, and variety type have
been most frequent; but there have also been
some OF the genuine original hymeneal type.
